Blockchain and crypto currencies have been recently attracting attention
as a next revolution following that of internet. Until now, much attention has been paid
to the exchange of crypto currency with legal currency due to the absence of killer
solution which utilizes such innovative technology. Consequently, the users of crypto currencies, even with world’s top level market value, remained very limited.
Besides, it is not easy to understand the concept of private key and thus the
threshold of crypto currency is too high for general consumers. While the blockchain itself ensure sufficient security, it is hard to say that such security level remain fully ensured as the private key or transactions are managed by users themselves.
c0ban system developed by LastRoots will solve these existing issues at once.

The c0ban services was launched in Japan market in March 2017. It will expand to the US and Asian markets.
